Addicted To the Process

I think to myself what can I do 
To be a better me by the time I go to sleep
Trying to become the best version of myself 
I can be and I bet if I try my hardest
Still wouldn't be content 
I'd attempt to address my biggest weakness
Maybe I'm just addicted to the process 
Regardless of how it all ends

To me progression is endless never finishd,  
no Finish Line in my field of sight 
Only distance to cover
The position I'm in is only temporary 
Assistance isn't necessary 
Because my solo missions are legendary
Just like my persistence
Even if the conditions horrendous
The journey continues
I'll never let these variables take a toll on me
If the road I'm walking is suddenly stopping 
Because of burned Bridges I'll hop in the river &
Swim across it, I'm always quick to consider my options
Because being a quitter's never something I pondered
Long enough to be permeating my mental state 
I'll terminate negative thoughts like that
Before they ever enter my brain 
All of that weakness gets asta lavista'd 
Like Arnold Schwarzeneg

I think to myself what can I do 
To be a better me by the time I go to sleep
Trying to become the best version of myself 
I can be and I bet if I try my hardest
Still wouldn't be content 
I'd attempt to address my biggest weakness
Maybe I'm just addicted to the process 
Regardless of how it all ends
